Many of the issues that the United Nations Global Compact addresses are explicitly
covered by German and EU law, which companies based in Germany must observe.
As a German company, Roland Berger Strategy Consultants GmbH does so too.
But we go further, proactively taking steps in line with the guidelines set out by the
Global Compact.
By introducing our Code of Conduct in 2004, Roland Berger established general rules
for ethical behavior in our business conduct. This document is a formal element of
every employment contract and we expect our employees to comply with it.
Our compliance management system encompasses all tools and mechanisms that
defi ne and implement the principles and values of our organization, including the
guidelines of the Code of Conduct. Thus, it allows us to uphold them in our strategic
and operational business.
The code was designed to meet the specifi c demands faced by Roland Berger Strategy
Consultants. It provides guidance for behavior in our dealings with clients, colleagues,
suppliers and competitors. Our Code of Conduct is built on the pillars of confi dentiality
and safety, professional integrity, personal conduct and corporate responsibility.
It covers issues such as data security, intellectual property rights, insider information,
respectful conduct, recruitment standards, health and safety at work, human rights
and environmental protection.
Our Code of Conduct covers the four areas that the Global Compact describes.
Roland Berger is taking many actions that build on the ten principles set out by the
Global Compact, as described in the following report.
